I’m trying to get a hardtop for my Miata painted…
It’s not a show car or anything, but I want a good paint job where they will do it right (remove sealing, window, etc) and blend it nicely with the body (car is red), yet don’t wanna pay a ridiculous amount since it’s a daily driver and all.
Anyone have any suggestions for a good body/paint shop?
Let me know, thanks!

I haven’t been there in years, but Ken Grimm at Number One autobody always did great work. More recently I’ve had good experiences at 9&20 Autobody in Schodack, Tony and Scott are great.

Call Hard Knox Collision and Custom in burnt hills. Incredible painter, and you will not be dissapointed in his work. Tell him Matthew sent you, and he will give you a price break.

Whatever you do, avoid Wreckomended up at Glenns Fall’s at all costs.
It took about a year to get a hood and bumper painted, five or six trips up there, 400$, just to have it come out horrible, with bumper flaking within two weeks, and hood work being horrible.

I’ve had great dealings with Lussier’s in Clifton Park…about 30 seconds from the twin bridges. Not cheap, but really nice work.

Central Automotive Works in Colonie does good work too. Their the shop right next to Govel’s Welding if your familiar with the area.
